[ The Battle Of New Orleans ] |
@ |
In 1814 we took a little trip |
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip |
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans |
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans |
@ |
@@* |
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico@@* |
@ |
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come |
And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum |
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring |
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing |
@ |
@@* |
Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by surprise |
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes |
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well |
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well@* |
@ |
@@** |
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles |
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go |
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico@@** |
@ |
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down |
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round |
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind |
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind |

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92, |
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother, Billy, too. |
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold. |
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome. |
@ |
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below. |
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow. |
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight sun, |
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one. |

Where the river is winding, |
Big nuggets they're finding. |
North to Alaska, |
They're goin' North, the rush is on. |

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand, |
Said: "Sam you're a-lookin'at a lonely, lonely man. |
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land, |
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Ginnie's hand. |
@ |
'Cos a man needs a woman to love him all the time. |
Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find. |
I'd build for my Ginnie, a honeymoon home. |
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome." |
